I am complaining because of the time I have been waiting for the recall replacement of the airbag for the passenger. I first called my dealer, space coast Honda, on February 11, 2015. I have called them after 30 days and after 60 days. Then after 60 days I get the second recall letter for the driver airbag. I understand this is a huge recall, but Honda knew about this long before we customers were notified and we should not be warned not to drive the car because it could kill us, when they are doing nothing about it. . . . At least in my case. I am wondering if my dealer is playing favorites. We do not go for regular service, oil changes, etc. After all it is a 2004 car and a walmart oil change is good enough. The car has 100,000 miles on it and we are planning to keep it. My husband is 80 years old and cannot get in the back seat easily (which is what Honda recommends). And then there is the driver air bag. . . Driver cannot sit in the back seat! thank you.

With reference to recall 14v-700, the following was sent to Honda in may. They did call a month later stating that the parts would be in soon and that Honda of bowie would contact me for the repair. Nothing has happened since, it has been seven months since the recall. 3 may 2015 kevin schehr 5522 lake ridge terrace bowie, MD 20720 301 801 1353 (m) kevinfschehr@yahoo. Com american Honda moror company. Inc. Honda automobile customer service 1919 torrance blvd torrance, CA 90501 310 783 3023 (f) reference: NHTSA recall 14v-700 dear sir/madam: in January of this year I received the aforementioned recall notice. As a result, I called Honda of bowie, MD asking if they could accomplish the repair and asked if they had the required parts in stock. They replied affirmative, so an appointment with the service center was scheduled for 6 February. My 2004 Element was delivered to the service center for the air bag (driver and passenger) replacement. They were only able to replace the driver’s airbag - turns out that the passenger components were not in stock. I was assured that Honda of bowie would call when they arrived. The service manager informed me that parts were on back order and expected shortly. Beginning in March I have made at least four telephone calls to the parts department asking about the back order and always receive the same response - “should be here shortly”. It is now may, five months since the recall was published and still no action on the repair. What do you think? sincerely, kevin schehr.

I cannot find out if the air bag in my vehicle was make by takata or if my vehicle is not included in the air bag recall simply because I do not live in a southern state. I plan to travel to the south and am worried about it. My Honda dealer says he cannot legally deactivate the air bag. I want to know if my air bag was made by takata and if it is not on the recall list simply because I don't live in the south. Why can't I have it deactivated?.

Called local Honda dealer to schedule airbag replacement based on most recent recall. Dealer confirmed that they did not have the parts in stock and will follow up shortly.
